Abstract

The development of the topics proposed here, is focused on answering one of the objectives of the frame research project in which the master's thesis will be registered: "From pitaphs, memories and rituals: cemeteries as an aesthetic space and urban model, a symbolic microcosmos. Case studies in the Colombian Coffee Area" presented to COLCIENCIAS by the research groups Territorialidades of the Universidad de Caldas, and Pensamiento Ambiental (Environmental Thinking) from the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Manizales Campus. Said work is based on two basic components: 1) The way how the cemeteries ordered, planned and managed by territorial zoning plans, and 2) the identification of spatial referents within each cemetery -from ritual practices, architectural zoning and aesthetic representations- that can give an account of differentiated identities of the social groups of the municipalities and the region where said cemeteries are located. Key words: Cemeteries, Colombian Coffee Zone, zoning, planning and urban management, spatial referents of identity.
